CHAUNCEY N. BENNETT, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND A. T. BENNETT.

Letters Patent No. 91,509, dated June 22, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN COAL-STO'VES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GH-AUNCEY N. Bnnnn'r'r, of Gincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improved School-Heater; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the construction and Operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view schoolhouse heater, torn away.

Figure'2 is a sectional elevation of a modification of the same, the series of holes in the register D, being in the horizontal piece.

The objects of my invention are- To provide a stove or heater, adapted to schoolhouses, in which convenient devices shall exist, for heating the feet of the children, and drying their clothing, by a current of heated air.

B is a register of a well-known form, on the top of the stove.

E is the stove, or heater proper.

F is a cylindrical cover or drum, surrounding the stove in such manner as to leave a chamber for heated air between it and the exterior of the heaater E.

A or A is a flanch, at right angles to the drum F, abo ut four inches in breadth, to -be used as a foot-rest, and placed at such height on the heater as may be convenient for children.

fi D D is a register adjustable by the finger-piece c,

D D"is a register, fig. 2.

The difference between the registers D D and D D is, that in the former the apertures for the heated air are vertical, and the current from them would be horizontal; while in the latter, the apertures are horizontal, and current is vertical, and in a direction toward the ground.

The principle and purpose of both are the same, and either one would suggest the other, and many other modes of carrying out the invention.

of my improved the outside cylinder being partly adjustable by the finger-piece c,

I prefer and purpose using the mode shown in fig. 2, because it is desirable to have the current of heated air. at the floor, or as low as possible, and that We pose is better attained by the device shown in fig. 2, than it is by any device which brings the current of air into the room in a horizontal line.

The chamber between cylinders E and F, is open at bottom, and obtains its supply of air from outside by means of pipes through the floor. W hen the register B is open, the heat of the stove will cause a continuous current of fresh air, heated by passing through the said chamber, to pass through it into the room.

This current will keep the temperature of the inside cylinder E so low as to remove all danger of its being burned, while it will, at the same time, economize and equalize the heat, by removing the air, as fast as heated, to different parts of the room.

When it is desired to bring a current of heated air into such position as to be available for heating the childrens feet, or drying their clothing, when they come to school on a cold or rainy day, the register B is closed, and the register D or D is opened, when the air, entering from underneath, will pass up until it strikes the closed surface above, by which it will be reverberated, when it will descend to and escape into the room through the register D or D. But as the closing of the register 13, for any great length of time, would cause the cylinder F to become very hot, it should not be kept closed longer than it is necessary to answer the purpose before referred to.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The register D, pose described.

2. The register D, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. The combination of registers B and D, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. The combination of register D and foot-rest A, substantially as and for the purpose described.

5. The combination of registers Band D, and footrest A, substantially as and for the purpose described.

substantially as and for the pur- Witnesses:
